You can create a management class with an ARCHIVE COPY GROUP with a RETVer
of 2557 days and a DESTination=MYARCHPOOL.

Later, when archiving, use the -ARCHMc=<management class> option to
associate the archived files whith that management class.

In order to have "two copies" of the archived files you can create a primary
storage pool MYARCHPOOL and copy storage pool MYCOPYPOOL. Then issue (or
schedule) a BAckup STGpool MYARCHPOOL MYCOPYPOOL.
